My daughter, in her sweet 8-year-old voice:
Dear Jesus, please guide me to the right man for me when I grow up. That he is kind and gentle and sweet.
Every night, this is her prayer (among other things). Her father and I pray for this also (and we add that he loves Jesus as well!), and I am so thankful she is choosing to sincerely pray for her future husband too.
My son:
Every night for well, years now, he has been praying for those people in his life who might not know Jesus. His prayer goes something like this:
Dear Jesus, please help anyone who might need their faith strengthened. ..please help great-uncle____, ______'s uncle, and _____ and ______ (our neighbors). (Names omitted to protect privacy!).
These friends and have family members have been prayed for faithfully for months upon months upon months! And God hears our prayers!
